UK — Wood and coal-burning homes in the UK now produce more particle air pollution than the vehicles on our roads. …The campaign group Mums for Lungs have called for a ban on stove sales and a public health campaign, but government action is based on helping people to burn better rather than not burning at all. …Dr James Heydon from the University of Nottingham has carried out a study on burning to heat homes. “We therefore decided to test whether a successful approach from the US could help fill the regulatory gap.” Many parts of the US have enforceable bans on home heating with stoves and fireplaces when air pollution builds up across the area. …Fifty Sheffield homes agreed to check a study website before lighting their fires. This gave green, amber and red alerts, depending on local air pollution. As a result, 74% of householders modified their behaviour.
